Peter, why are we scared of the forbidden book?
Discussion
De integritatis et corruptionis virginum notis" by SĆ©verin Pineau, a 17th-century work on female virginity....it is bound in human skin.
Wow, I wouldn't want to sit on a couch in that guy's study.
...oh. i see why the book is to be feared.
Why tf is there a book about female virginity bound in human skin though? š
It was common back then to bind theological works with the skin of slain heretics.
The catholic church is fucking metal. There is a reason that fiction like Warhammer 40k just copy/pastes more often than it makes something new.
Remember, the church has the oldest known receipe for human vellum.

Yeah, if I click that link, I won't be able to unsee it. Pass.
I suspect that most examples of Anthropodermic bibliopegy would pass unnoticed were it not for the gloating notes.
āthis may look like an ordinary book, but Iāve actually had it bound with some human skin I had lying around.ā
that he TANNED HIMSELF?!?!?!
Dark Archives is sitting around on my to-read pile.
Probably a good time to pull it out.
